We are the bend before the break

We are the dead ones,

We are the lost cause,

We are the bend before the break,

Our steps seal our fate....

So I've been dying to put together something using the super cute shirt I snagged from Dernier Cri in this week's Project Themeory.  The shirt is still available at the PT price (I checked just a few minutes ago), so go and grab it before it disappears!

Lyrics from This Could Be Anywhere In The World by Alexisonfire

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

And we'll hide out in private rooms,

With the latest dictionary of today's who's who,

They'll get you anything with that evil smile,

Everybodys got a drug dealer on speed dial..

Seasons Hunt Fun

Two posts in one day, look out... and yes, i know my eyes look kinda freaky, SL is being a pain and I can't focus them for love nor money today so lets just move right along to the good stuff.

The Seasons Hunt is upon us and there are scrummy treats to be had.  Most of the leaves are relatively easy to find, as long as they haven't been shrunk to within an inch of their pixel life but even then, the group is super helpful.  So go, hunt and enjoy...

Sinking into sweet uncertainty

I was spinning free,

With a little sweet and simple numbing me,

Yeah, stumble til you crawl,

Sinking into sweet uncertainty...

Keeping it sweet and simple today...

Plurky Blogger Challenge - It's all in the Background

This week's challenge is all about backgrounds which I think is kinda cool. So many people put in countless hours to bring the world of SL alive and often, I don't think they get the credit they deserve. Sooo with that in mind, I knew as soon as this challenge rolled around that I would be taking my photos at Pixel Dreams. If you have not seen this sim, you are missing out!

Click to see full sized picture

The whole sim is very rustic country, with broken down shacks, dilapidated cars and sun burnt grass as far as the eye can see. A little more exploration though will reveal beautiful bridges, rivers and lots of little hidy holes that make wandering around fun and interesting. Seriously, I could spend countless hours here..

And, just in case you are interested, here is what I'm wearing:

So, if you haven't already, go and visit Pixel Dreams, not only is it a stunning build all around, it's also the home to Pixel Mode Shoes which are totally scrummy!

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

The urge to run, the restlessness,

The heart of stone I sometimes get,

The things I've done for foolish pride,

The me that's never satisfied,

The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see,

I guess that's just the cowboy in me....

I have a secret....I'm a closet country music fan and had the very fortunate experience of getting to see Mister Tim McGraw live this past friday.  So with that in mind, I felt like channeling my inner country girl and this is what came out the other end... it's sort of country-esq...maybe... well at the very least it's comfy and perfect for the coolish weather we have been having the last few days...
